This Year’s Dilemma

Laura Facebook messaged us and said that her car was broken into outside the pole gym where she was training.  The robber’s had stolen everything including her bags and wallet.  She had lost her passport just before she was supposed to fly to Halifax to start her art class on Monday.  I quickly looked up on the internet what to do if your car has been broken into and emailed the link to her.  I told my softball friend the next day about Laura having her passport stolen just before she was supposed to fly to Halifax.  He told me that she didn’t need her passport to fly in Canada all she needed was a photo ID.  Laura and I were messaging that night and I told her about the photo ID.  She said she had lost all of her photo IDs. She was very upset and couldn’t think straight.  Then somehow she found her driver’s license and realized that she could still fly to Halifax as she had planned.  That made a bad situation a little better.  However, she didn’t have her credit card.  So she asked me to book her flight for her.  I looked up flights and she looked up flights.  She found a cheaper flight than me.  So I gave her my credit card information and she tried to book the flight.  When she tried it didn’t seem to work.  So she tried again and still it didn’t work.  So I said that I would book her flight.  Then I checked my email and found that I had received three emails confirming my bookings.  I looked at my credit card account on line.  I noticed that there were three tickets purchased on my account.  Two were Laura’s bookings and one was mine.  So I quickly phoned the company that Laura had booked through.  Fortunately, I got through to the right person and they were nice enough to cancel Laura’s purchases.  Then when I looked more closely at Laura’s purchases I noticed that they were for Monday night and mine was for Sunday night.  She had to be in Halifax Monday afternoon for her course.  She seems to be really having trouble thinking straight.
